I was medically cleared today and had my psych eval as well. I meet with the surgeon tomorrow and then my paperwork will be submitted to Tricare!! Praying for a swift approval!!! The rest of this has gone so fast that my head is spinning. LOL

Yay! Congrats and hope this goes by fast for you These last 13 days are DRAGGING horribly for me, so hope they process you much quicker!

I think my initial inquiry appointment was April 29. I finished all appointments today and am having surgery on May 24. I totally agree.......FAST. I am excited and scared at the same time. Good luck to you.

i am also new to this. I attend the lap band seminar next week then i can make an appointment with the surgeon. I also have tricare, do you know if they ask that you have 6 months of consistant weighing in before approval? I hope not!! i really want to get this whole process going!! Best of luck!!

I think Tricare North requires it, but Triwest did not.

Thank you everyone. I got my surgery date today!!! AHHHHH!!!!! I'll be having surgery on 5/27...I can't believe it!
